I have a Vampire 600 V2 running GOLD2, which I use it on my recapped and Kickstart 3.1 upgraded Amiga 600, installed with the mount screws that ensures it remains plugged in properly. It has been working fine, but today after I tried to launch an WHDLOAD game, it became kind of frozen. After a cold restart, the only thing I get on the SCART connection is a pain red screen which sometimes flicks to black, first for 2-3 seconds then just some microseconds). No Vampire logo, no output on DigitalOut, nothing. I immediately thought that it might be a connectivity problem with the microprocessor, so I turned it off and pushed firmly the card, but the issue remains. I then took the time to unmount the Vampire entirely to check that the Amiga 600 works just fine on its absence, which it does. The components at the Vampire board look ok to the eye. I cleaned the area a bit with compressed air, and replugged it several times, but every attempt resulted in the same behaviour.

Oh dear... Does that mean that, if it's finally a hardware problem, I won't have any support? Or did the Apollo team take the responsibility of helping with possible issues with these cards? Where can I read more about it (if it was even announced)?
